yep, we were discussing it Sand, but it would have taken too long to get there and back

Talking of the causeway, I have a story that's kind of related that I think I've already told Sand. Back in WWII (and before) there was no causeway and everything had to go over on a ferry, including a train. Anyway, during the war the ferry and everything on it weren't allowed to have lights on them as that would make them vulnerable to enemy planes. Then one day my great uncle was in a float plane that wanted to land on that stretch of water and they couldn't see the train and they ended up crashing into it and he died

I've known that story for a lot longer than I'ver ever known where Cape Breton was so it was interesting to visit and we had a hotel room looking out over that straight.

Once day I'll go back to buy some of Stace's chocolates and hunt for mooses

(that's hunt as in look for, not hunt as in shoot, just in case anyone was worried).

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the area, the causeway is basically a bridge (but it's built up land) that connects the island to the mainland. When the waves get too high, you can't go on it because well, you car will get washed away

No causeway = stuck on the island!

There's the Sydney airport, but if the weather is that bad, you probably wont like that option either.

actually the causeway was open the whole time haha
just the roads through the highlands were hell and so was the highway back into halifax.. i wanna say its the 102 but i forget
